About These Birds

Black-backed Forktail

The Black-backed Forktail is an elegant, long-tailed bird of rocky mountain streams in the eastern Himalayas through to southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. It has a black back and white underparts with a deeply forked black-and-white tail that it constantly bobs and fans. It forages along fast-flowing streams for aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and fish.

Abyssinian Slaty-flycatcher

The Abyssinian Slaty-flycatcher weighs around 24g and inhabits highland forests of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It perches upright on branches, sallying out to catch insects in the air.
